Welcome to learning Korean! Here I provide beginner Korean study material to get you started out with learning the language. With basic grammar, key vocab, and more to help you along the way.
For early beginners, Matcha is a nice Hangul game to get you started with memorizing the characters and how everything stacks together. Probably combining inspiration from games like 2048, and the Korean language’s block-like structure. The game helps new learners play with and understand the writing system a bit more.
Happy winter! Today I want to talk about Korean winter sports, getting into the vocab and the culture of skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating they have out there. South Korea does experience snowy winters, and with the mountainous terrain, it has a lot of prime spots to keep active in the cold months.
Building off my post about children’s media for learning Korean, here are some of the top Korean TV and movies! I wanted to make a two-for-one combo with this. First, it’s nice to use Korean media to help hear how people speak, follow along repeating lines, and just for general enjoyment. But also to connect with Koreans and the culture!
Today’s grammar lesson is a quick one. We’ll be getting into how to quote people, making sentences to use “they said” in Korean.
Humans of Seoul is a blog I have been following before I started studying seriously! They focus on interviewing Koreans of all ages about various topics with both original Korean and English translations.
This week, we are getting into some important Korean adverbs; time, frequency, and other related terms! These are words that tell you how often something is happening (weekly, monthly, daily, nightly) and help to describe when and where. From position, the location particle, order, and calendar days, to help you build out your vocabulary.
하다 Verbs are some of the most common verbs you’ll see when beginning your Korean learning journey. So let’s get into how they are structured, a comprehensive list including the common and not-so-common, conjugation, and more!
Whether you’re worried you will offend or want to impress people, learning Korean etiquette and the dos and don’ts is important! Because of Korea’s unique culture, they have its own etiquette rules and guidelines.
Tea is a classic drink with a long history, and Korea is no exception. Today I’ll dive a bit into the drink with vocab for the different kinds of tea in Korean, Korea’s culture and history with tea, some Sino-Korean, and more.
The 만 grammar particle is a great piece to add to your vocabulary! Emphasize and clarify by adding ‘just’ or ‘only’ to your sentences with this simple particle. I’ll go through some quick examples as well!
